IMPROVED STOVE STAND.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, D. N. SMITH, ofBoston, in the county of Suffolk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a Stove-Stand; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in supplying the kitchen with suitable stands, made of iron, or any other suitable metal, to be placed .on the stove, for the purpose of exposing different things to the radiating-heat of the stove, Without bringing them in direct contact \viththe heated plates, which heat would be too intense for that purpose.

Say, for instance, such stands could be used for keeping dishes warm, before putting .them' on the table; for setting warm the. pan for raising bread or cake; for drying pans above the store, before putting them away, 850. v

.The stand is so constructed that it will stand firm on the stove; a rod, of suitable length, with a foot and atop plate; the top plate is castwith a border all around, and the plate itself perforated oropen, so that the heat from the store can freely circulate warmed or kept warm.

' griddle, the importance of which will be seen immediately, and every kitchen is to have such a griddle, with plate-holder.

Figure 1 is a side view of the stand.

Figure 2 is a plan of it.

Figure 3 represents a combination of the griddle with such a stand,- as a plate-holder.

A is the foot.

B, the rodywhich can be made of difi'erent lengths for the same foot and top plate.

C is the top plate, which is cast perlbratcd or open,

- in any plain or fancy style, with a border, 1), around its edge.

E represents the griddle, in combination with a platform, 0, and rod, B.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- i' The griddle E, with rod B, and platform 0 D; and foot A, for the purpose as specifier Witnesses: D. N. SMITH.
